SBT AUDIO #Seagulls Summer Round Up by Laurence Elphick
Description
I cannot wait for the football season to begin, because however hard I tried, games with no atmosphere and no fans, or a smattering of supporters dotted around ,felt like a series of meaningless friendlies, resulting in a season that I really couldn’t get too excited about.
However, despite the disappointment of football not coming home this summer, seeing stadiums across Europe filled with happy, emotionally charged people supporting their respective nations rekindled the flame of excitement within me.With the Premier League season due to get underway on 14 August then(fingers crossed), and with a trip to Burnley, Brighton & Hove Albion will be looking to dramatically improve on last season’s goals converted to chances created ratio.
Good news then that former England striker Danny Welbeck signed a new one-year contract with the Seagulls. The 30-year-old forward scored six goals in 24 Premier League appearances last season, but every Brighton fan you speak to will tell you the Club desperately needs to secure the services of a proven goal scorer, someone who can turn those draws into wins to elevate Albion further up the table and away from the all too familiar end of season battle to avoid relegation.
